    Ideas for a redundant Mac mini

    Apologies for what's probably going to be a loaded question. I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

    Is there a way to confirm or unregister an OS X Server Serial Number?

    I'm not finding much about this and wanted to see if anyone here know: I have a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Server with a serial number. The Xserve that it was installed on originally is wiped and long done (it was sold with a standard/client version of a later OS X 10.13 on it). Someone wants to buy...

    Should Apple bring back the Xserve with Apple silicon?

    In the 2000s, Apple sold the Xserve, a rack-mounted server system. In 2011, it was discontinued and replaced with server versions of the Mac mini and Mac Pro. Over a decade after the Xserve was discontinued, Apple is about to transition the Mac Pro to Apple silicon, with M2 Ultra or M2 Extreme...

    16 Inch MackBook Pro -Would two external NvME drives give better transfer speeds? Should the plugged in on different sides of the Laptop?

    I am thinking of temporarily repurposing an Intel MacBook Pro as a file/ Media Server. I understand using an NvME in an enclosure is going to give the best speeds! . Would I get even better speeds if I split my applications between two smaller NvME drives? In other words I could use 2 1TB...

    Move home directory to local server

    I have a 2014 Mac mini set up in my coat closet as a headless file server. I installed a 1tb SSD, so it has a good deal of storage, but it's only got 4gb RAM, so it's too slow to use as a desktop. Instead, I use a 2018 Mac mini as my office computer. But that machine only has 128 Gb SSD. It...

    NFS or SMB with configurable cache

    I'm considering instead of Dropbox or iCloud, pay for my own hosted server with 10TB of storage and put either an NFS or an SMB server on it (or both) and just use that as my cloud storage. The hosting site will do backups. As a third level thing, I could also push it off up to Dropbox. The...

    Help with domain-connected Mac

    Can anyone help with Macs in a classroom connected to network/server/domain? They have built up a lot of system storage and slow, likely due to lots of user profiles being stored over years. Can I delete older user profiles in Directory Utility?
